"Burn It Down" Confirmed As New Single, Out April 16th, 2012

Have you ever tried to sing along on songs like Lying From You, Points of Authority, No More Sorrow, or any of their other heavier songs? I have a high singing range compared to most people...but damn I cannot sing more than a song and a half at full volume before my voice is just gone. To do 20+ song set lists night after night the way he does is crazy.

Oh yeah, and try to sing The Catalyst all the way through on Chester's parts. Impossible. I can get to the second half of the song ("lift me up / let me go") and I lose it. It's insane.

 

I sing a long to them even tho I know I don't sound good

 

I used to think I could sing. Then I recorded it. I'm fucking AWFUL!!!

 

This is what I'm hearing I'm probably completely wrong but oh well

All that I needed was the one thing I couldn't find

and you were there my mistress waiting to let me go

build it back up

bring it back down

build it back up

burn it down

burn it

burn it down

strange kind into the sun

the starlight couldn't be found and you were that falling star

my mistress waiting to let me go

mike's part...I play soldier you play king f***ing coward I kissed that ring

fought that fight

 

If we don't get an HQ snippet soon, I may go insane.

 

ya I'm going to have a relapse..heheh

 

If I lower the octave then I'll be singing at a lower octave than Chester...which defeats the point.

 

My take on the lyrics:

... a look in the sky
All that I needed, was the one thing I couldn't find
and you were there ... why did you let me go? (Most likely wrong)

We're building it up
Break it back down
We're building it up
Burn it down
Can't wait to burn it to the ground

I play soldier, you play king
Fuck me down when I kiss that ring
Fought that fight, hold that ground
I built you up but you let me down
When you fall, I take my turn
And then you ... that you burn
